Woodland Tai Chi

Published on 17th January 2018

Thank you for offering the Woodland Tai Chi classes! I've regularly been taking part in the sessions since July.

I'm suffering from chronic health problems. I've had ME for over 30 years. Whereas conventional medicine has very little to offer for this debilitating illness, practising Tai Chi has very noticeably improved my health. My balance is much better, my energy levels have gone up considerably and my memory problems, mental exhaustion and difficulties with co-ordination have almost disappeared.

During and after Huw's Tai Chi sessions I can feel my energy increasing, my balance improving...

Huw's Woodland Tai Chi sessions are absolutely unique. As an acupuncturist he is able to teach us to work with the Chi/energy flow in a very effective and focused way, passing on his knowledge. This will be of lasting benefit to us all. His experience in teaching mindfulness meditation is making this 'Mindfulness in movement' class into a very special experience indeed.

Practising Tai Chi in the woods adds the element of 'nature therapy' to it. Last Saturday, on a rainy, grey and miserable winter day I realised just how incredibly beneficial these sessions are. I went to the woods feeling quite low and depressed but soon felt energised and happy! As we were sitting around the fire for a tea break and chatting to each other I observed the same reaction in the other participants as well.
